Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Reolink sites.
2026 verdict
The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE wins on PoE power, storage, color night vision, alerts, hub features, its built-in light and two-way audio against the Reolink RLC-810A.
It is powered and networked over one Ethernet cable, records to microSD with 24/7 and offline history, sees in color after dark, talks back through a speaker, and doubles as a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge with HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT support. The Reolink RLC-810A is cheaper and answers with resolution and toughness: 4K video against 1080p, IP67 sealing, a 2-year warranty, privacy zones and customizable motion zones, plus RTSP and local recording with no cloud requirement at all. It has no speaker, so there is no two-way talk, and its night vision is black and white. Buy the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE for smart features and hub duty, and the Reolink RLC-810A for 4K detail on a wired network.
